Daines called out Vice President Harris\u2019 plan to repeal the 20 percent deduction for small and family-owned small businesses. Daines is working to make this deduction permanent.Daines Slams Biden-Harris Tax Hikes on Small Businesses, Montana Families\n\nWatch Daines\u2019 opening remarks HERE.\n\n\u201cDespite their rhetoric, Vice President Harris and the Democrats are launching a war on our main street businesses and Americans who are already living paycheck to paycheck. In fact, Wall Street Journal earlier this year called this the $6 trillion election because we\u2019re looking at a $6 trillion tax hike if President Biden\u2019s Vice President, Kamala Harris and Democrats have their way. From the Vice President\u2019s tie-breaking vote imposing invasive 1099-K requirements, supersizing the IRS and her call to repeal the pass-through deduction, her record is crystal clear,\u201d Daines said.\n\nDaines also pressed Jeff Brabant, NFIB Vice President of Federal Government Relations, on how the Biden-Harris tax hikes will affect small businesses.\n\nWatch HERE.\n\nMr. Brabant said, \u201cIt would be difficult for them. A recent survey shows 66 percent would increase prices, and about 44 percent would delay, postpone, or cancel planned capital investments in their small businesses.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nDaines is fighting to make the 20 percent pass-through business tax deduction permanent. His bill, the \u201cMain Street Tax Certainty Act,\u201d will support Montana small businesses, help create jobs and strengthen our economy. Without congressional action the tax deduction will expire at the end of 2025.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.daines.senate.gov/2024/09/12/daines-slams-biden-harris-tax-hikes-on-small-businesses-montana-familiesu-s-senate-u-s-senator-steve-daines-today-at-a-senate-finance-committee-hearing-slammed-president-biden-a/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5069120563566685, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
